Flaming Geyser State Park (WA) - June 11, 2015
Please be patient while the pictures load...
Even though I have used this state park over one hundred times as a rafting takeout, I have never hiked any of the trails
Not much of a geyser anymore. A capped methane vent
Cristy Creek, fed from Sinkhole lake about a mile away
Another 'geyser'
Grey stuff is methane vented to water
Walkway down to bubbling geyser
Green River view from short hike view point
and downstream
Green River view from longer hike view point
Side trail to crappy view point
Ferns look like wire mesh
Downed tree wedge above trail
Foliage closeup
Back at Cristy Creek bridge and trail splits
The 'geyser' is only a few feet off main trail
Conditioning pond empty. Not clear if it was used recently
Park map and verification reflection. Red squares are where the pictures were taken
